Now I blogged on the bike helmet last year. On a serious note, I believe in wearing bike helmets during races or fast rides — or even in city traffic — but a president with a security team to keep bikers away while he slow peddles on the Vineyard — sorry, he looks way too risk averse.

John Kennedy showed his vigor by appearing in public without a hat. With his bike helmet, Barack Obama evokes a different son of Massachusetts, Michael Dukakis.
